Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 200 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Agar-agar powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 capsules Probiotic capsules (vegan-friendly)
- 1 cup Fresh mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Granola (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Open the canned coconut milk and stir well to combine the liquid and cream portions.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, agar-agar powder, and maple syrup (if using).
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to ensure the agar-agar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool to a lukewarm temperature (approximately 110°F or 43°C). This is important to avoid killing the probiotics in the next steps.
Step 5
Open the probiotic capsules and gently stir the powder into the cooled yogurt mixture. Do not use metal utensils for this step, as they can interfere with the probiotics.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into clean, sterilized jars or containers. Cover loosely with a lid or cheesecloth and let it sit at room temperature (70-75°F or 21-24°C) for 8-12 hours to ferment. The yogurt will thicken and develop a slightly tangy flavor.
Step 7
Once fermented, refrigerate the yogurt for at least 2 hours to set fully and chill.
Step 8
Before serving, wash and prepare your fresh berries. You can slice strawberries or leave smaller berries whole.
Step 9
Spoon the dairy-free yogurt into serving bowls. Top with fresh berries, chia seeds, and granola if desired.
Step 10
Enjoy your creamy, dairy-free yogurt with berries immediately, or store the plain yogurt in the fridge for up to 5 days.
